Medisana Phototherapy Unit LSB:

Do you suffer from Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD)?

Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) affects one in two people over the age of 25.

Fundamentally it is a depressive disorder caused by a lack of light during the darkest winter months.

The main symptoms are: Carbohydrate cravings, depression, unwanted weight gain, sleeping longer without feeling refreshed, sleep problems, lethargy, social problems, anxiety, loss of libido and mood swings.

You do not have to have all these symptoms. SAD sufferers usually have 2-7 symptoms in combination.

Medical solutions usually involve either counselling and psychotherapy or prescription of antidepressants. But counselling is expensive and most people prefer not to take medication.

More effective than medication or counselling - and cheaper!

Light therapy is effective in 85% of SAD cases. All you need to do is spend about 1-2 hours a day next to a SAD light. Doing this tricks your brain into thinking Spring is on the way. Usually SAD symptoms disappear within 4-5 days of starting the therapy.

You do not need to stare at the light. You just need to be next to it. Most people have it next to them when they are reading a book or surfing the Internet or even watching TV. However do not wear sunglasses - this counters the effect.

1-2 hours a day is about the minimum we recommend but there is no upper limit.

What is so special about this SAD lamp?

We are pretty choosy when it comes to selecting products for our customers and we noticed there are a lot of SAD lamps out there. The minimum lux (brightness) you need to treat SAD is 2,500 lux. And quite frankly, even at this level the effects arev small. And the Medisana Phototherapy Unit LSB is a high quality German lamp which kicks out 10,000 lux minimum. This is at the top end of brightness for SAD lamps and this is the kind of brightness you need if you really want to see some benefits.

And, for the quality of product, it is an extremely good price.
